i INTRODUCTIO*:

in,e ! tomic Energy Ccn=ission has issued a statement of generci policy r

entitled " Implementation of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969" (Public Law 91-190). The policy stctement was published in the Men 1 no ister on April 2,1970 (35 T.R. 5463) as Appendix D to 10 GP. Part 50 of the Co:.nirsion's ret;ulations. Araong other things, the policy etstor.ent provides that the Director of Regulation or his der.J e:e will prepare a succcment on the environmental effects of pro-paced pcuer recctors. Thir document has been prepared in t.ccordcnce with the Comission't statement of gcneral policy. This document is he.ncJ (1) on the independent evaluntion by the AEC regulatory staff of radiolenical effects en the environ = cat, taking into account advice received from expert consultants,' including other Federal agencies and i

(2) uith respect to other effects on the environment, on coments received from or official actions taken by cognizcnt Federal and State j

L t

l agencies, and information provided by the applicent.

The Northern States Power Company (ESP) filed with the Atomic Energy Coenission (AEC) an applicction dated August 1,1966, for cil necessary 7

l AEC licenses to construct and operate e nuclear power facility at its t

t Montice,1lo Nuc3 car Generstier, Plc.nt site located in Wright County about three miles northvcst of Monticello, Minnerota, on the west bnnn of the Missiscippi River. The site, which is approximately 30 i

.ilcs northwest of Minneapolis, also extends into Sherburne County on the ecct bcnk of the Mississippi River, i

No unusual demographic, meteorologicni, geologien1 or se'icmological features have been identified which could make unacceptable the plant's r

opernt ion from the stnndpoint of rcdiological impcet on the envirorcent, i

The most cignificant potentini for adverse intercetion with the environ-i

?

n. cat is the plant's locetion on the Mississippi River, 30 miles upstrecm j

froia c mnjor papulation conter. As discussed later in this statement, there is reasonable assurance thct radiological effects on the river and I

on down-streca usage thereof will be minimal, and that therac1 effects t

will be naintcined within limits established by the Minnesota Pollution l

Control Agency (MPCA).

f h

The application and supporting information in the applicant's Preliminary f

Safety Analysis Report (PL/.R) were evaluated by the AEC regulatory staff

[

t and the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safegucrds, both of whom concluded that the facility could be constructed without undue rish to the health and safety of the public. Subsequently, an stonic safety and licensing board, following a public hearing end based upon the evidence in the pro-ceeding, authorized issuance of a construction permit. The f acility bcs f

been under construction since issuance of the permit on June 19, 1967.

NSP filed its Final Safety Analyais Report (FSAR) dated Ueverber 7,1968, in connection with it: application for a provisional operating license which would authorize operat ion of the facility at thermal power levels up to 1,670 megawatts. All t,aterial submitted by USP in support of its applica-tion,and other pertinent documents are available for public inspection at l

the AEC's Public Docur.ent Room et 1717 H Strect, K. W., Washington, D. C.

The Safety Evaluation by the AEC Division of Reactor Licensing is availabic l

t for ine; ection at the locations previously noted, end single copies may be obtained by writing to the Dircetor, Division of Reactor Licensing, USAEC, Washington, D. C.

20545. The safety Evcluation vill be offered as evidence at a public hecring before an atomic safety and licencing board, scheduled to concience on April 28, 1970, in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Monticello facility vill utilize a General Electric single-cycle, forced circulation boiling water reactor. The principal features, design bases, and safety analysic for the facility are deceribed in the Safety Evaluation by the Division of Reactor Licensing. The rcports received fran expert consultants, including other Feder51 agencies, are appended to the Safety Evaluation and are a part of the public record. The reports received from other Federal agencies were as follows (references are to appendices to the Safety Evaluation): Air Resources Environmental Laboratory, Environmental Science Services Administration (Appendix B); Geological Survey (Appendix C);

and the Fish cnd Wildlife Service (Appendix D).

The subject matter of these reports is described generally in subscquent sections of this statement.

i

. l reco,a.:em:ntions which Northern States Power has agreed to iniplement.

In itc report of Jcnuary 10, 1970, the ACRS concluded that if due regard is given to the items mentioned in its report, and subject to satis-fac' tory co piction of construction and preoperational testing, there is renconnble assurance that the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant j

t Unit 1 can be operated at thermal power 1cvels up to 1,670 megawatts without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The report i

of the ACRS is appended to the Safety Evaluation.

ESP's preoperational environnental monitoring program is now in its second year. The purpose of this program is to provide information on bachground radioactivity levels. A monitoring program will be continued after plant operations begin. Scmples taken include air, river water, well water, soil, vegetation, and milk. River water samples are taken ucekly at locations upstream and downstream from the plant site, nr.d at the City of St. Paul raw water intake about 40 miles downstream. Af ter operations begin, daily grab samples vill be composited into a weekly sanple for analysis. The deep well which pro-l vides public water supply to the City of Monticello ic sampled monthly.

The Minnesota Department of Health collects weekly samples from the Hallock, East Grand Forks, Eveleth Fairmont, and St. Paul municipal vater supplies, which are analyzed for gross beta 1cvels.
